Said martial art belts will be wrapped around a center wooden mounting spool fastening each belt with the belt ends. Said martial art belt display will also provide a center wooden flat round interchangeable display disc which mounts to the center of the spool of said belt display for attaching pictures, logos, patches or any other ornamentation.

It is to be understood that while certain forms of the invention are illustrated, it is not to be limited to the specific form or arrangement of parts herein described and shown. It will be apparent that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention and the invention is not to be considered limited to what is shown described in the specification and drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Although the invention will be described in terms of a specific embodiment it will be readily apparent that many more various modifications, rearrangements, and substitutions can be made to the model type without departing from the conceptual scope of the invention.

In one embodiment FIG. 3-1, and FIG. 4-6, of said invention in an assembled configuration can be constructed using wood, metal, plastic, or bamboo.

In another embodiment FIG. 3-1, and FIG. 4-6, of said invention in an assembled configuration can be painted any color or finished with a variety of wood stains or enamel, clear coat polyurethane, or left “natural” (unfinished).

In accordance with yet another embodiment FIG. 4-6, said center wooden interchangeable display disc can be attached using hook and loop adhesive (Velcro) or any other product that allows said center wooden interchangeable display disc FIG. 4-6, to be removed easily.

In one embodiment FIG. 3-1, said center wooden mounting spool can be mounted to a wall or any flat surface using a screw, nail, or any hardware that allows FIG. 3-1, to mount securely by inserting mounting hardware into FIG. 3-3, and then mounting said center wooden mounting spool to a wall or any flat surface.

In another embodiment FIG. 2-2, shows the side cutaway view of two recessed holes that will receive round steel flat washers FIG. 3-4,5, to give said center wooden mounting spool FIG. 3-1, strength for mounting purposes. In this particular embodiment FIG. 3-4,5, said round steel fiat washers can be constructed out of metal, plastic, resin, or any material that gives FIG. 3-1, strength for mounting purposes. FIG. 3-4,5, said round steel flat washers may be a different size and shape than what is shown.

In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, once FIG. 3-1, said center wooden mounting spool is mounted and said center wooden interchangeable display disc FIG. 4-6, is attached to the front of FIG. 3-8.
